Abstract

We consider isometric embedding of trees into the infinite graph Z(m) whose vertices are the m-dimensional lattice points where two vertices a = (a(1), a(2),..., a(m)) and b = (b(1), b(2),..., b(m)) are adjacent if and only if vertical bar a(i) - b(i)vertical bar < = 1 for 1 < = i < = m. Linial, London, and Rabinovich have shown that this can be done with m < = 1.7095 log(2) t, where t is the number of leaves. In this note, we sketch a proof that [log(2) t] < = m < = [1.45 log(2) t] (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
